Looking at these two lenses for my next purchase.. thoughts? Should I just hold out longer and continue saving pennies to get the Nikkor?

I love my Tamron... Lots of nice comparison reviews online.

I was at the same cross roads after doing research ended on the tamron. It seems to beat the sigma all around, and be equivalent (some times a nose behind, sometimes a nose ahead) of the nikkor.

The only downside I have had to my tamron is that focusing in really low light (I mean almost dark) is not ideal, but in those cases I am normally doing a stageed shot so manually focusing hasn't been an issue.

I honestly dont think you can mess up either way...
